21. Have they considered filing a federal civil RICO action?

Edited on Sat Dec-04-04 01:15 PM by merh

Are they just looking at avenues available under the state election laws or have they considered whether they have enough to file a federal civil RICO action?

If they have enough to file a federal civil action, they might be able to ask for a federal court order impounding/protecting the machines until the court can review the issues and decide if the parties are entitled to the inspection and testing of the machines.

It is just a thought. :shrug:
